kexec failing with KVM on Power8 baremetal host

[Stefan Berger <stefanb@linux.ibm.com>]

I bisected Linux between 6.13.0 and 6.12.0 due to failing kexec on a 
Power8 baremetal host on 6.13.0:

     book3s64/hash: Add kfence functionality

     Now that linear map functionality of debug_pagealloc is made generic,
     enable kfence to use this generic infrastructure.

     1. Define kfence related linear map variables.
        - u8 *linear_map_kf_hash_slots;
        - unsigned long linear_map_kf_hash_count;
        - DEFINE_RAW_SPINLOCK(linear_map_kf_hash_lock);
     2. The linear map size allocated in RMA region is quite small
        (KFENCE_POOL_SIZE >> PAGE_SHIFT) which is 512 bytes by default.
     3. kfence pool memory is reserved using memblock_phys_alloc() which has
        can come from anywhere.
        (default 255 objects => ((1+255) * 2) << PAGE_SHIFT = 32MB)
     4. The hash slot information for kfence memory gets added in linear map
        in hash_linear_map_add_slot() (which also adds for debug_pagealloc).

Reverting part of this patch by applying the following changes to 6.13.0 
resolves the issue:
